>I'm sure it's my fault in some way, somthing I've accidentally activated one of the many times i've fell asleep on my keyboard however for some reason if I double click a dbf in explorer foxpro now opens up the table twice. so foxpro loads up and there is 2 browse windows open one with mytable.dbf and the other "B"
